Steven FishPrincetonPrinceton University Press1995Testo elettronico (PDF) (X, 300 p.)Base dati testualeQuesto libro presenta una nuova visione del cambiamento politico russo nel Gorbaciov e nel primo periodo post-sovietico non esaminando la perestrojka e la glasnost in sé e per sé, ma indagando sulle organizzazioni politiche autonome che hanno risposto alla liberalizzazione. Lo studio approfondito di questi gruppi politici, a Mosca e in diverse città di provincia, ha portato M. Steven Fish a concludere che erano stati modellati in misura molto maggiore dalla natura dello stato sovietico che dalla modernizzazione socioeconomica, dalla cultura politica, dalla psicologia indigena o tradizione storica russa. La teoria statalista di Fish sul cambiamento sociale in Russia fornisce una potente spiegazione del motivo per cui la nuova società politica russa differisce radicalmente non solo dal paese "totalizzato" e sottomesso del periodo precedente al 1985, ma anche dalle "società civili" che si trovano in Occidente e in molti paesi in via di sviluppo. Inoltre, l'autore mostra come l'eredità dell'esperienza sovietica continui a influenzare lo sviluppo - probabilmente il sottosviluppo - di istituzioni politiche rappresentative nella Russia post-sovietica, rendendo improbabile l'instaurazione di una democrazia stabile nel breve termine. Questo libro propone un modo nuovo e teoricamente sofisticato di studiare la politica russa. Offre un approccio rigoroso alla comprensione dei movimenti sociali, della formazione di partiti politici, del cambio di regime e della democratizzazione in generale. Pur concentrandosi principalmente su un singolo paese, è allo stesso tempo vigorosamente comparativo.DemocraziaRussiaBNCF320.94709049FISH,Michael Steven1962-1204463cbaITcbaREICATcbaITcbaREICATcbaITcbaREICAT996457948303316EBERDemocracy from scratch2779555UNISA05729nam 2201465Ia 450 991077913980332120231217112038.01-283-53995-097866138524031-4008-4477-010.1515/9781400844777(CKB)2550000000104451(EBL)946518(OCoLC)802056567(SSID)ssj0000701391(PQKBManifestationID)11940509(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000701391(PQKBWorkID)10674979(PQKB)11030777(MiAaPQ)EBC946518(StDuBDS)EDZ0000515152(MdBmJHUP)muse43344(DE-B1597)453837(OCoLC)979905328(DE-B1597)9781400844777(Au-PeEL)EBL946518(CaPaEBR)ebr10574894(CaONFJC)MIL385240(EXLCZ)99255000000010445120120118d2012 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrHow ancient Europeans saw the world[electronic resource] vision, patterns, and the shaping of the mind in prehistoric times /Peter S.

Yet as Peter Wells argues here, the visual world of these late prehistoric communities was profoundly different from those of ancient Rome's literate civilization and today's industrialized societies. Drawing on startling new research in neuroscience and cognitive psychology, Wells reconstructs how the peoples of pre-Roman Europe saw the world and their place in it. He sheds new light on how they communicated their thoughts, feelings, and visual perceptions through the everyday tools they shaped, the pottery and metal ornaments they decorated, and the arrangements of objects they made in their ritual places--and how these forms and patterns in turn shaped their experience. How Ancient Europeans Saw the World offers a completely new approach to the study of Bronze Age and Iron Age Europe, and represents a major challenge to existing views about prehistoric cultures. The book demonstrates why we cannot interpret the structures that Europe's pre-Roman inhabitants built in the landscape, the ways they arranged their settlements and burial sites, or the complex patterning of their art on the basis of what these things look like to us. Rather, we must view these objects and visual patterns as they were meant to be seen by the ancient peoples who fashioned them.Prehistoric peoplesEurope, WesternMaterial cultureEurope, WesternAntiquities, PrehistoricEurope, WesternSymbolismBronze ageEurope, WesternIron ageEurope, WesternBronze Age.Celtic objects.Early Bronze Age.Germanic style.Iron Age.Late Iron Age.Mediterranean world.Middle Ages.Middle Iron Age.Roman conquest.Rome.actions.artifacts.bowls.burial chambers.clothing pins.coinage.coins.cups.fibulae.focus.frame.graves.houses.imagery.integration.jars.landscape.late prehistoric Europe.light.material culture.metal ornaments.objects.optical process.ornament.performance.physiological process.pottery.pre-Roman Europe.prehistoric community.prehistoric culture.ritual.safety pins.scabbard.settlement.settlements.social contact.social context.space.sword.tools.trade.vision.visual patterns.visual perception.visual word.visual world.visualization.writing.Prehistoric peoplesMaterial cultureAntiquities, PrehistoricSymbolism.Bronze ageIron age936Wells Peter S18014MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779139803321How ancient Europeans saw the world3757896UNINA
